Indigenous Conceptions of Landscape This subject explored
the various ways in which Indigenous people relate to place and
homelands, as well as to the corporeal and spiritual world. Examples
from Australia, Canada and the Pacific were used to demonstrate
Indigenous ways of perceiving and knowing landscapes and aquatic
environments. Melbourne School of Design Semester II Coordinator/Lecturer: Dr Scott Heyes The categorisation and classification of landscape units by Indigenous peoples was explored so as to illustrate how Indigenous perceptions of landscape differ from non-Indigenous perceptions and construction of place. The subject provided awareness of cultural values and traditional customs which bind Indigenous people to place. A fieldtrip to a site of Indigenous significance formed an integral part of this subject.
